Is All This CoronaVirus Panic Even Warranted?

Not invalidating anyone else’s fears or feelings but I can’t find myself to be afraid. I honestly don’t feel to do so.

Regardless of what the media is saying. Regardless of how many people are acting a fool at airports, grocery stores and so on.

Something’s off.

It's not the media, it's not the panicked citizens you need to listen to. It's the medical experts, the epidemiologists, the doctors.

The plague killed a third of the world. No doubt a lot of them didn't believe in the germ they couldn't see. The Spanish flu killed nearly 50 million people, I'm sure after the debate about whether it was a big deal raged on. This pandemic is killing people, too. There is no containment, there is no vaccine, there is no cure. You don't have to panic, but it'd be highly ironic if your last words were along the line of "this is all nonsense."
